Question

I’ve written a Custom User Control which returns some user specific data. To load the Custom User Control I use the following line of code:

UserControl myUC = (UserControl).Load('~/customUserControl.ascx'); 

But how can I access string user inside the User Control myUC?

Answer 1

Let’s call your usercontrol ‘Bob’

If you Inherit from UserControl in Bob, then I guess it’s safe to do this:

Bob b = (Bob).Load('~/customUserControl.ascx'); 

For the user part, I can’t really follow what you want to do, is the ‘user’ in the class were you create the ‘Bob’ usercontrol and you want to set a property in the ‘Bob’ usercontrol or is it the other way around?

For the first one you should create a property in your usercontrol.

class Bob : UserControl{ public string User { get; set;} } 

and then set it when after you create ‘Bob’ instance.

b.User = theuser;
